I used Lupron about 3 years ago. It sounds like you are having sucess managing your endo with it. I wasn't quite so lucky.

I know that if the side effects are overwhelming your doctor may reccomend addback to help alleviate them. This is where they give you small doses of hormones. The problem with this is that the addback can start the pain back up. You might want to talk to your doctor about it if you are completely miserable.

I know that I tok wet washcloths to bed with me, to cool myself after the hot flashes at night, and I rarely took a hot shower when I was on Lupron.

I really can't help you with the moodiness, because I never got a handle on it. I was a total B*tch while on it. YOu can take comfort in the fact that if you're doing a 6 month course, it won't last forever.

Honestly, I felt that the side effects were something I was willing to live with, if the Lupron worked. Unfortunatly it didn't help me, and one of the side effects was pretty unhelthy (I got some serious swelling of the feet and ankles because of water retention.)

I hope this helps.
